To Anaya,

Hi, it's me - Zaki. Remember me? I have so much that I want to say but I can't seem to get it out. Ironic right. How are you? How's mum and Fadel? I've been in contact with them both (you probably already know that). I bet Fadel's grown. I heard he's 6ft now or so he claims to be. I've seen his modelling pictures, the internet has gone crazy over him! I see he takes after me with modelling and his great looks, just kidding. Does mum still make you drink those herbal teas before bed and force to put on a face and hair mask every month? It was okay for you, you're a girl. But for me and Fadel - it was horrible. H O R R I B L E. Between me and you it really did help and I really do miss it. Look at me, I'm rambling through writing. How does that even work? Let me just get to the point. Firstly, happy birthday Anaya. Have you seen the moshimonsters card that I got you? It reminded me of you since we used to play that when we were kids. It was like our favourite game!
Secondly, I'm so sorry for everything that I said and done. Even worse, for leaving on a bad note. I hope you can forgive me. I remember mum's famous quote faqat yaghfir wanansaa. "Just forgive and forget". Clearly that didn't get into our brains, considering we kept a grudge for a whole year. I'm actually quite surprised we managed to do that. Do you remember when we were younger, we'd get into an argument and then swear we wouldn't ever speak to each other again. That only lasted for an hour max. And now I'm here writing you a letter after a year of the silent treatment. It's crazy because we're twins too and twins are supposedly meant to be really close. To be fair, we were close. Really close. Before.
Anyway, I've got news. Like big news! I'm moving back to London..
I've been away from my family for too long. Don't tell mum or Fadel yet, I want to surprise them. And I want you to be the first person I see. I've missed my twin sister so much! Oh and Jidda* is coming too. IM SO EXCITED!!
Before you ask "why is he only contacting me now?" Thing is, I've got your number off of mum numerous times. But I've been way too scared to talk to you. I kept thinking that you don't want anything to do with me. I realised now that I'll only find out if I did contact you. So I did. Through this letter that you're reading. Here's my phone number so we can talk 8392626292. I'm expecting a happy birthday call.

From,
Your twin brother, Zaki.

P.S: I added a picture of me just in case you wondered what I look like now.
